"Mindy!" Narcissa yelled and Mindy appeared with a pop.
"How can Mindy help, Mistress?" Elf said
"Go find Madame Black and send her to me. She's supposed to be readying." Narcissa said as she fixed her hair.
"Yes, Mistress" Mindy vanished with a pop.
"Ah...my love. You'll be the most beautiful woman tonight." Lucius praised his Wife.
Narcissa smiled at him throug the mirror whilst putting her Diamond earings.
"Rubbish." Narcissa grinned
"Barta!" Lucius called Mindy's sister who appeared quickly with Draco beside the her.
"Barta have found the Malfoy heir wondering around the Manor." Barta said
"I was just...looking." Draco said defensely causing Lucius's brow to raise
"An what exactly are you looking my son?" Narcissa asked
"I...uh.." Draco stammered
"You're dismissed, Barta." Barta disappeared with a 'pop'
"I see..." Lucius placed his arm around his child.
"We will be meeting the Krum's today, son. I want you to-"
"Make their Heir feel special tonight, yes Father."
Narcissa smile disappeared when she heard heavy footsteps coming to them. The door ripped open with Bellatrix herself with a Dangling Mindy to her hand. Mindy grunted as Bellatrix threw her.
"It's not her fault. I sent her to find you." Narcissa said to calm her sister down who has her eyes dangerously widened at the elf.
"My love, I think it's best time for the Men to leave now. See you at the Ball." Narcissa nodded at his husband and they left moving passed by Bellatrix.
Narcissa stood up and flick her hand and dismissed the Elf.
"Come now, dear sister. You need to get ready." The youngest sibling of Bellatrix said as she took a hold of Bellatrix hand and guided her to say down where she was sitting down a few moments ago.
Bellatrix didn't utter a word whilst Narcissa doing her hair. When Narcissa done putting the last pin to hold her hair together.
"The pition? I'm staying here for three days now. I want my potion tomorrow morning, Narcissa. I can't take this anymore, that's the first thing we'll do tomorrow, got it?" Bellatrix said with a stern voice, the voice she's only using to her students the past five months.
"Yes Bella but change your dress for now, the Ball will be ready in an hour." Bellatrix retreated her head form bowing and looked at herself in the mirror, she raised her brow and quirked her lips at her sister.
"Thank you." She said and held Narcissa's hand.
Bellatrix stood up left the room as she was walking down the hallway of the Malfoy Manor she found a girl exiting a room. She walked pass by her but the girl cleared her throat causing for her to stop walking and pivoted back just to look at the confused girl behind her.
"I'm sorry, Madame but do you know where the comfortroom is? The Malfoy Manor is rather enormous, and my bladder is about to burst." The girl said
'Such a familiar face.' Bellatrix thought
"Do I know you?" The older woman asked as the girl straightened her posture.
"I don't think so Madame, I believe that today is the only day I have seen you." The girl rambled
"What is your name?"
"Almira Victoria Krum." She replied with pried
"Ahh...the Krum's heir. Barta!" The Elf appeared with a pop
"How can Barta help Madame Black?" The elf said and bowed
"Help Ms.Krum to find the Comfortroom." Bellatrix said and looked back at the surprise girl.
Barta looked at the girl and walked towards her. They vanished with a pop.
Bellatrix picvoted and continued walking. When she reached her destination which is her room, she lazily changed to her black and Dark Purple dress.
Vicky saw her father and her step-mother talking whilst sitting in a chair.
She approached her guardians and tapped his Father's shoulder.
"Can I talk to you, dad?" Two pair of eyes looked at her.
"Say it here, love." Hermione said
"Mom, I know you don't want to hear about the battle ships again." Vicky said
His father stood up.
"You and your fascination with Battle ships. Fine, talk here. I'll get ourselves a drink." Hermione said as she stood up.
Vicky occupied her step-mother's cahir and looked at his father.
"Vicky...now is not the time to talk about ships." His father started
"Dad..." She started and looked if anybody is listening only to find people talking to their companions.
"I saw her. Bellatrix Black, she's here." Vicky said as her father straightened his posture and Vicky saw the clenching of her father's jaw when she mentioned the name.
"Are you sure? Are you sure it's her?"
"Yes dad." Vicky nodded
"If you're right and she's here tonight. Try your best to avoid her, do not talk to her." Victor said with a stern voice and held his daughter's hand.
Who only nodded. Not long and Hermione came back with drinks. Vicky and Victor smiled at her.
"Are you two alright?" Hermione asked or Belle to the Krums.
"Yes Belle. Come sit now, Mrs. Malfoy is about to speak." He said and Hermione sat down beside him
Narcissa started speaking about welcoming the guests and enjoying their night and sat back down to her chair. Victor saw the woman sitting beside Narcissa and it's none other than Bellatrix Black herself. His hands clenched into a ball and sent daggers to the woman then he heard the calming voice of her daughter whilst oantting his shoulder.
Hermione excused herself to go to the comfortroom when the Malfoy's approached their table.
Victor stood up so is her daughter.
"Ah..at last." Lucius started and brought out his hand.
"Lucius." Victor said and Shook his hand
"Victor, we meet again." Lucius said but his eyes drift to his daughter.
"How old are you?" The first thing came from Draco himself.
"It's not a nice way to greet a woman, Draco." Narcissa said and smiled at the Girl.
"I'm only fourteen." Vicky replied
"Don't let her age fool you." Victor said
Lucius and Narcissa looked at each other then looked at Draco who gulped whilst watching the girl infront of her.
Lucius looked back at the man Infront of him.
"I do believe that we have some talking to do." Lucius said and excused themselves.
"Would you like to dance?" Draco asked the girl who just blushed but nodded.
Draco held out his hand and the girl took his hand. Draco led them at the dance floor she smiled but then heard a loud 'clang' coming from their desk.
"Bella.." she sighed and walked to words he drunk sister.
Hermione came to her seat only to find Vicky dancing with a familiar man. And his lover nowhere to be seen.
She sighed and drank her drink infront of her. And heard yelling from the Malfoy's table. A woman yelling.
'That voice. That voice from my dreams." She thought and stood up.
She saw Narcissa asking a woman to stop yelling.
Black eyes found the Brown eyes. Their eyes locked for a moment. Bellatrix stopped on her track and just stared at Hemrione.
Hermione's head started to ache as the occasion of the woman started flashib to her head. She sat down, cold sweat formed to her forehead then she suddey felt strong arms scooped her from her seat and guided her at the nearest Balcony.
Bellatrix pointed at the table. Narcissa looked at what her sister was pointing and and found no one.
"Hermione. Hermione I saw her, Narcissa. Hermione!" Bellatrix yelled and stood up but Narcissa pushed her down.
"Bellatrix, there's no Hermione in this room. You're drunk. "
"But, but she was there...Hermione. Hermione!" She yelled again.
"That's it. Mindy!" Narcissa yelled
"What can Mindy Help you Mistress." Mindy said as she appeared.
"Bring Madame Black to her chambers and give her potion." Narcissa said as Mindy took a hold of Bellatrix's hand.
"Don't touch me, you stupid Elf!" Bellatrix yelled as they disappeared.
Narcissa looked at the guests who is currently looking at her direction.
"I'm terribly sorry about that. Please, Continue talking and don't mind us." She said as the Guests continued talking to themselves.
"What happened?" Lucius asked as he appeared beside her.
She held her husband's forearm and dragged him outside the prying eyes and listening ears.
She dragged him to their room.
"She said she saw-"
"Hermione. Yes, she's here. She is Victor's companion." Lucius blurted as Narcissa gasped and put her hand to her mouth.
"Don't worry. I don't like Victor's presentation. I disagree with him and Draco didn't like that girl either." Lucius blurted and Narcissa just nodded.
"We need to talk to Bellatrix. We need to plan this." Lucius said again and his wife agreed.
"Barta!" She yelled and Barta Quickly appered infront of them
"Take us to Bellatrix's Chamber. Now!" He said and the elf took their hand.
They both opened their eyes and they're in Bellatrix's Chamber and Bellatrix herself pacing.
"She's here. I'm sorry, Bella." Narcissa started trying to Grab her sister.
"I know. I know, where is she?" Bellatrix asked and looked at them with puffy red eyes and red nose.
"We need to get her now. " Bellatrix continued as she tried to exit the room but Lucius blocked the door.
"What are you doing?! Get out of my sight or I will hex you!" Bellatrix yelled at his face.
"She's Krum's companion!" Lucius yelled back
"Krum?! I will fucking Kill that man! How dare he take my her from me?!" She yelled and paced.
"You can't just kill him, Bella. You'll end up at Azkaban!" Narcissa yelled to her.
"I don't care!"
"I care! Stop being a daft and listen to us!" Mrs. Malfoy said and forcefully grabbed her sister forearm and sat het down to a armchair.
"How dare you! I am your oldest sister!" Bellatrix yelled.
"Right now I don't care! You need to know the truth first before we make our action!"
"The truth?! What truth?!" Bellatrix yelled.
"Of we all would just calm down." Mr. Malfoy said and Bellatrix looked at him dangerously.
Lucius sat across her.
"The day she died, Almira Krum." He started and suddenly Bellatrix calmed down.
"You and Almira had a relationship. I told you to stop it but you said you can't because you've fallen for her, Bella. She visited you at the Aurors Office, you went out for a lunch and dinner. You want to accompany her back to Russia to her family but she refused. She said that if her husband Victor found out, he'll kill you.
That same night she died. They said it was an ambush, they said that were supposed to attack Victor they said they were mistaken. We heard about this and you were known as the 'Oath-Breaker' made one of the murderers sing like a bird, his name is Hugo.
Hugo said that Victor found out that Almira was having an affair with a Pure-Blood Auror in London. So Victor used his connection here in London and contacted the Greyback twins. Fenrir Greyback's Twins, Avielyn and Avielou Greyback.
You killed the Twin's Father in a raid, that's why they're holding a grudge. The twins found out that it was you that Victor was looking for. Avielyn and Avielou tried to attack you themselves but they were just a child, they're weak. We tortured the twins and made them spoke up. We found out that it was Victor trying to kill you, we healed the twins and let them go.
Victor was too Coward to to face you himself and knew that you would not stop to seeing his Wife. Almira found out that he was trying to kill you by sending murderers to you but all of them were failing and Ended up on azkaban. Almira warned you that day but you have too pride to yourself, you were boastful and asked for her to let it go.
Victor commanded the Twins to kill Almira that night. Unfortunately, the Twins can't kill Almira themselves. Avielyn and Avielou hired murderers that's why Hugo was there.
We insisted on holding the case but Fudge refused said that we can not due to personal matters and Besides Almira's Husband wanted Russian Auror's to handle the case. But your were stubborn and went to Russia yourself, you were supposed to kill Victor but the Daughter saw you, Victoria. Luckily, Jose was there and scooped you out of the situation and Obliviated you, if he did not do it you must've been in the Azkaban Today." Lucuis said and Ended the story.
Bellatrix processed the story to her heada and looked at Lucuis.
"And yet you want to be his business partner?!"
"He said that he's all for a good start and business but worry not I refused his offer. He tried to outsmart me. " Lucuis said causing Bellatrix to huffed
Bellatrix frowned
"Victor doesn't know you're still alive. The Greyback sisters are still working for him, they also killed Jose because he found out his dirty secret. Once he found out that you're still alive, he would kill you himself."
"And you?" Bellatrix looked up still frowning
"He doesn't know that I know everything. I...I am afraid for my Family's security, Bella."
Bellatrix gave shot him a dirty look but quickly softened when she spotted her frowning sister standing beside him.
"Once he find out that you and Hermione are related, he would-"
"Kill Her." Bellatrix gasped and stood up, almost knocking the Armchair.
"And you." Lucuis continued.
"We should do something!" Bellatrix yelled.
"Yes Bella, but we have to plan this." Narcissa said
"Are you okay, my Belle?" Victor asked whilst rubbing Hermione's Back.
"Yes... It's just. My head is aching and.." she said
"Shh... It's okay now. Do you want to go ho-"
"No, no. I don't want to... Vicky's enjoying herself." Victor just nodded
"Okay...Do you want to sit back down?"
"Maybe a bit, love. I just need to breath, this is the first time that I've seen crowd this huge since the accident. I might be a little... overwhelmed." Hermione said as she put her and Victor's forehead together. Victor's hand traveled to Hermione's waist and started rubbing it.
Hermione leaned in and kiss Victor tenderly.
"I love you." Victor said and Hermione nodded.
"I'll let you be...just come back to our table when you're ready." He said
Hermione Kissed him once more and nodded.
He left and he turned around looking at the stars.
'If we've been together for a year now no Amnesia would make me forget how I feel for him, right? Then why I don't feel anything?I should love him, right?...but I don't. Not anymore.' Hermione groaned at her own thoughts.
